- My revenue drivers for Go-Go Rides are students specifically. By renting bikes on campus, they are the ones that would keep my service running through the income i receive.
- I think that my service is very simple yet impacting. The next thing that customers would probably want is a mode of transportation besides a bike
- I think that having something else to rent besides a bike to get around on campus would improve the popularity of my service, it would vary customer switching costs but not to the extent that it wouldn't be affordable.
- I would probably go for a skateboard for rental besides bikes
- This product has almost five stars and since I do not know much about these boards I was automatically drawn to the one with the highest ratings. Very few were unimpressed with this specific board. Apparently those who gave it the highest ratings said that it is very sturdy and reliable. Others say that the wood was absolutely terrible and that it broke very easily. Regardless, it was agreed (even in the critical reviews) that it was a good beginners board, which might be a good thing.
- I do not know the first things about skateboards but if i had a way to make them a little faster or maybe more convenient to carry around i would.
- I think that this product would make a good addition to my service because it would increase the popularity of my service and it would demonstrate how I want to reach all types of people and make an impact, not just bike lovers. I am aware that there are people who cannot ride bikes but maybe they can get the hang of a skateboard!
Hello Isabella,
ReplyDeleteI really like your business idea! I agree that adding skateboards might be a good idea and would reach a larger group of people. I don't know if this has been done before, but it would be so cool to design a skateboard that folds into a convenient size to fit in a backpack, yet still provides a safe, sturdy, and reliable board. I've always wanted to learn how to skateboard, but do not want to commit to paying for a board because they can get pretty pricey and I'm not even sure I'd be any good. Your idea would give me an opportunity to try it out without having to make a long term commitment! Great job!

Hi Isabella. I like your idea but I have to admit that I would not want to rent a skateboard to get around campus. I like the bike idea or even a scooter but the skateboard would require a helmet and possibly knee pads. Being a clumsy person I wouldn't trust myself on one. However, I can see it being a fun and different product to introduce and try out for the guys.

Hi Isabella! First off, I love that you included an image. Even though the skateboard isn’t what your service revolves around, it captured my attention and I was intrigued. The skateboard also builds off of your Go-Go Rides too! Which is awesome. I love that you’re already expanding on the idea and coming up with different ways to figure it out.
